We have just finished our weeks stay in Olundeniz - here is an honest review from a mother of a family of four
Car transfer: DM Transfers Return collection from Dalaman to Olundeniz. Would definitely recommend, good price. The driver was lovely and correspondence was always top notch!
We stayed at Morina Deluxe Hotel. It is a lovely, clean boutique hotel set slightly back from the noise of the main strip. Our family room was very nice and clean. The maids work very hard to keep the rooms clean and tidy.
The reception staff were very professional and always gave good advice. Shout out to Didem for being super helpful. In fact all the reception staff were always very helpful and very professional: also thanks to: Ece, Songul, Senol and Habil x.
The waiters, very nice guys: James, Volkan, Antony were very friendly and always went out of their way to ensure all your culinary needs were met.
Morina Delux really did make our stay a wonderful one! Well done and thank you to all staff - you are doing an amazing job.
Restaurants
Olundeniz Kumsal Pide Amazing restaurant set at the far end of the beach (away from the boats end), the food was fresh and the cheapest meal all week and by far the best! Well worth a visit
Lemon Tree Good - worth a visit
Bella Gusto Okay - nothing spectacular. Good for people watching!
Hang out Went for drinks, amazing views.
Hisaranou Dominic’s restaurant Authentic Turkish - staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend.
China Rose (Chinese) Not great, the most expensive meal all week. I wouldn’t bother. Turkish take on chineese food - not authentic.
Sunset Again, just okay.
The bad bits My daughter brought a bag from a shop in Hisaronu. She paid in GBP as requested. The bag was good quality however the change he gave was fake! The Big Ben was on only one side of the note.
As a matter of principle we went back the next evening. She was then presented with another 3 fake notes to choose from! BEWARE!
Trips Baghdad cable cars Went for sunset, we took a cab there and bus back (bus was 70pence per person!) Tickets were easy to purchase at their ticket office approx. £10 each return. We brought a drink when we were up there. Lovely evening!
Cherry Tree boat trip £25 per person. Nice trip. Bit pricey for drinks, ice creams!
You do need your wits about, we were overcharged in a taxi twice! All in all a lovely...
Read moreI have been to 21 countries and this is one of the best hotels! We stayed at this hotel for 11 days!!! Before that, we went to the Maldives a few years ago - and this place is very similar in atmosphere!! My husband and I took a room with a sea view - we highly recommend choosing this option, as the views are beautiful of the mountains and the sea!! A very quiet hotel, the staff is caring and attentive! I would especially like to mention Ünal and Furkan!! They made our holiday even happier - they served us great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! The breakfast buffet is very decent - they cook an omelet in front of you. There are often fresh pastries - croissants are amazing! For breakfast there is always oatmeal, cereal, vegetables, fruits, sausages, bread, cheeses! Very tasty coffee, as well as iced latte with syrup! Drinks are not included in the price, but the prices are very affordable! Lunch and dinner can be ordered from the menu. We ate outside the hotel several times, and eventually decided to eat only at the hotel, because the food was very different in quality and taste from the restaurants in Oludeniz! All the products are very fresh and high-quality. The prices are the same as in other establishments outside the hotel. There are 2 swimming pools on the territory, one with music, the other is quieter. We liked both! It is very easy to get to the sea - 10-15 minutes walk along a beautiful street. By the way, someone wrote that there are garbage bins near the hotel - in fact, if you leave the hotel and go around the path to the right, and then to the left, you will not notice the garbage bins. Everything is very beautiful and decent! One of the best hotels not only in Turkey, but in the world as a whole. I have been to 21 countries, visited many hotels, this one will be in my top! We were told that this hotel is often visited on a honeymoon! I agree with this - this is a really good place for such an event ;) with love,...
Read moreThis was our first holiday as a couple and we were visiting turkey for a family members wedding
We booked the hotel just over a year ago, it was around £350 for 4 nights which in today climate is very reasonable with breakfast included
I hadn’t personally seen photos of the hotel prior as my partner booked it
We arrived late at night due to flights, we were greeted by a very welcoming gentleman who advised that the kitchen was closed but that he could arrange some food if wanted
He helped us to our room with our bags and explained processes such as the minibar and breakfast
The Wi-Fi is really good, it can easily stream Netflix/YouTube
We had breakfast which was a really nice variation of things, it was a mix of traditional Turkish and English breakfast options
I didn’t try them myself but there was a pancake and omelette bar where you could get them freshly made
The breakfast was super tasty, there was a nice range of juices and other drinks available
We sat around the pool for a few hours every day, there is two pools one is labelled as the ‘Quiet Pool’, however, we spent all of our time at the normal pool that played music it was not loud at all
All other guests were extremely considerate with noise but also enjoying themselves
All in all, for the prices it was an enjoyable stay
An added extra was that after checking out at 12:00 we could leave our bags at the hotel and use facilities such as the restaurant while we...
